Convert a string into a json object

Question

Hi all&nbsp;Is there a way to convert a string into a json object.My case is this one.&nbsp;To handle multiple winners in contest, i use the annoucement field where a &nbsp;i put a formatted message : "{winners:[{id:xx),{id:yy},...],order:true}"&nbsp;when a get the data&nbsp;with an API call, result is a string. The only way to "convert" it a json is to put an ?eval which is quite ugly and causes some freemarker errors&nbsp;Is there custom freemarker builts-in to make this?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you for your help

It looks like you can use ?eval. At least that's what they say on Stack Overflow.

Just be sure to check for null first.

Does this solve your needs?
